81-Year Old Marathon Runner
This 81 year old lady runs 55miles per week man! And also if you watch the video, you’ll see that she seems so alive and alert as an 81yr old person (widowed somemore). She seems to be as fit and as alert as someone in their 50s. amazing.. makes me wonder what i would look like when i grow older. better not be veging out everyday playing online games…
Die Ego Die
I found out something this morning after another period of reflection, which you are bound to do with so much time on your hands and having no job. I found that all these time, it’s always been about myself. Even this blog is about myself. Thinking about my affairs, worry about doing anything that would potentially take something away from me – whether it’s my freedom, all the things i like, and my ‘image’ in the eyes of others.
Upon reflection, the happiest times seems to be those times when i have lost all self-consciousness while doing something. The times when i do badly, invariably are the times when I have too many uncontrolled thoughts running through my mind, and I am not focused at the task at hand. This is making me realise something, that maybe thinking for yourself is nothing but ego, and that attention should be directed towards a task till you forget yourself in the process and thus lose your ego/selfishness.

Happily Confused
Hmm after having a chat with two friends I just wanna say this.. that nothing beats the feeling of having a great conversation over things that interests both parties. That one mind is only capable of little, but two minds working towards the same goal brings added strength and motivation. It’s really hard to explain, but i know now the happiness of having friends who share similar ideas and goals.
However I’m still confused over which career path to take. Right now I got some cakes laid out infront of me, and I must buy one of the cakes. But right now someone is reaching out a chocolate cake for me at an 50% discount. And note i never like chocolate cakes! But since I’m hungry and short for cash, the chocolate cake looks like an offer I can’t refuse. But I know I don’t like chocolate cakes, and I might not even enjoy eating it. But then again I might like it once i try it. But I never liked chocolate cakes! I rather buy the vanilla for full price lah… but then again I don’t feel nice towards the person who’s offered me chocolate at 50% off.. and maybe it doesn’t matter what cake i buy, maybe what matters is who i eat the cake with..
Dear Friend
Met up with a primary school good friend who I haven’t seen for ages. The type of friend you know you should keep in touch with, but yet due having not met up in a long time, think maybe we don’t have much in common anymore.
Received a message asking “You play poker? Bro I’m crazy about poker too!” he was responding to my MSN nickname which wrote “WSOP 20008 final table Darus Suharto from Indo!” So with nothing but Poker and a lot to catch up, we met up. How magical don’t you think? Friends who haven’t been talking for years, yet a simple message can lead to us meeting up for supper in a matter of 30 minutes.
We talked about the normal things people in their early 20s talk about – university life, career options and of course other people. I hope it was a good meet up session my friend, wish you all the best, even though i didn’t say that to you upfront. Instead of being old friends that just drift away, i hope our friendship would last for a life time. Thats all an old friend can wish for right.
First Post!
Hmmp! What else to write on a first post?? I guess this is the start of my blog. And i can’t think of anything to write for now because the fact that it’s a first post it’s cool enough? I mean it’s like a new born baby, because you know of the great things ahead, that the beginning becomes oh so meaningful. That is why we celebrate our birthday right? I hope this rather boring first post will be a beginning of a long blogging life!
But seriously, the main purpose of my blog is to inform people about how I’ve been doing, and let them know the things I think about but just don’t get to say it to others in person. So these thoughts that never have to chance to be expressed in words I try to jot them down here. I hope through this blog you will get to know about the real me and hopefully this blog will bring some entertainment to you. Thank you!
